Is it appropriate to use the medsoc list for shameless self-promotion? I have a book coming out in about a week’s time that members may be interested in checking out. It’s called “Diagnosis: Truths and Tales”, and it’s available at https://utorontopress.com/ca/diagnosis-4 . Here, I build on my sociology of diagnosis work to see how the diagnostic moment is “told” – what are the narratives of the serious diagnosis, and how do they convey a transformative power (which is not without alternatives)? I have dabbled with fiction and film, history and more. I’d love to hear from the medical sociology section on what they think about this approach and the questions it raises. If it’s not appropriate to post that, I understand. Nga mihi nui (that means “many thanks” in Mâori).
